May I suggest that the config-db be maintained as a "config-tree," with the root at /leaf-cdb (or something shallow like that) and keys may be nested as deeply as needed by creating directory levels. I.e. you could make the key interfaces/eth0/ipaddr like this: echo -n "172.24.8.24" > /leaf-cdb/interfaces/eth0/ipaddr
I also like the idea of a config-tree, Chad. It's proven itself useful for Linux a la /proc. I wish the config-tree api to have significant lattitude in how it displays the data: a) Something along the lines of a -H argument the way "who -Hu" prints out column headers. b) The ability to dump var=value pairs to stdout. Would you like to remark any furthur on how a tree is significantly better than a single config-db file and how the tree would store a variable's "type" information, for instance?
